My School

Though it's not the best picture of the school, you can get an idea of what I see on my walk to work everyday. My high school is the brown and white building on the left. A new school is being built to the left. You can't fully appreciate the size of the hill....next time it rains, I'll snap a shot of us walking up with the kids. It's astounding.

This is the view from the restroom on the fifth floor. You can see the rest of the high school (brown) and the new construction that will, from what I can assertain, the new high school.

As you walk up the ten thousand flights of stairs from the first floor entrance to the first grade teacher's prep/lounge room, this student-created art decorates the stairwell. It's quite impressive, especially since the walls are relatively barren.

View from outside my office. To the far left, a water fountain, adorned with a picture of many roaming sheep. To the right of that, the student bathroom (few toilets, many squatters), and classrooms to the right and left of the hallway. It's a small school, shaped like a rectangle. This is primarily the first grade school (there are three buildings all together). Oh, and "first grade" means "ninth grade".

Maybe you won't find this that funny, but I find it HILARIOUS. Everyday that I see it, I chuckle. These are sign boards that the students create for advertising/internet class. The beaver (hahaha) on the left is wearing a shirt that says, "Green Beaver". Like, does it get any better than that? No.

The third floor opens up to the courtyard that links this building to the second grade building (to the left) and to the middle school (up the stairs) where Matt teaches, and to the pathway that leads to the third grade building. Okay, maybe it's not such a small school, but my little part is.

This is looking out on the same view, just up one floor. Again, the 2nd grade school to the left, middle school straight ahead. The courtyard is quite a lovely getaway. There are benches under shade trees...it's cute. They even have a portable where a man sells food...like a candy shoppe, but with bread and chocolate milk. It's wicked awesome.

Ah yes, and this is the view from my office. My apartment is out there somewhere and Suri Mountain is in the background. Pretty nice view, if I do say so myself.
